2.5 Colour in ideocalligraphy

The use of two or more colours creates yet another dimension, further enhancing the meaning flow, its mood and emotional content. It can prompt sharp focus or reduce aspects of content to subliminal levels. Colour can highlight the affinities between individual elements and groups of ideocalligraphs. It divides or integrates, emphasizes proximity or degrees of distance, creates harmony or introduces an intriguing degree of imbalance and, used sparingly, can weave subtle lines of chromatic sub-text and 'punctuation'.
